We will also revise all the settings necessary for your web sites to be completely operational on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any type of site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with multiple custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress blog.

A: We try to perform all website migrations as fast as possible. Still, we do not have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are different variables that you need to consider – the mere size of your site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always try to implement each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable websites, our staff typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

A: While we migrate your site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your previous hosting provider. As soon as the migration is done, we will ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized before telling you that the migration is completed. After that, we will tell you how to move the domain over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.

Generally, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
